Sounds a bit optimistic IMHO. They can't really get started on Alicization (unless they base it off the web novel), and GGO by itself would only be enough for about 12 episodes.

Of course I'll celebrate if it happens; GGO is my favorite arc. If it proves popular enough, they could even go with a 4-part GGO OVA followed by 24+ episodes of Alicization. But let's get through ALO first before we start praying in earnest

Seriously, is 24 episodes enough for Alicization?... and can't we have 13 episodes for GGO, 1 or 2 movies for Mother's Rosario...?

Six volumes split into 24 episodes would make 4 episodes per volume. Might be cutting it close but should be doable, barely. 50 would be better of course

I guess GGO + Rosario + Calibur + 2-3 episodes of anime filler could make up a 2-cour season if it came down to it. Rosario does not really have much of a connection to GGO (though I just checked and it happens a few weeks after GGO). It could be done in any order if it came down to it.

But we gotta get through ALO first. And LN getting fully adapted, isn't that more like the exception than the norm? The only LNs which I can think of which got the full treatment were ZnT and SnS. The vast majority just get a 1 or 2-cour season and are never heard from again.

When it comes to whether a LN series will be fully adapted in the anime, you can't compare SAO to other series like Shakugan no Shana and Zero no Tsukaima. These series are made by JC Staff and SAO is made by A-1 Pictures. Most of JC Staff anime adapted from LN (such as SnS, ZnT, Toradora, and most likely Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo as well) have their entire story adapted.

I think SAO is the first anime adapted from LN A-1 Pictures had produced. Although, the studio is also producing 2nd season of OreImo which will most likely cover the LN's ending. So I think it's possible that SAO will be fully adapted.

So far A-1 did volumes 1 and 2 in 11 episodes. Then when you add in Aria and Murder Case that put SAO arc for the anime up to 14 episodes. Which leaves 11 episodes for volumes 3 and 4. So about 5-6 episodes per volume, I could see GGO arc being done in 10-11 and Caliber side story taking 2-3 for a possible season 2.

With the addition of Mother's Rosario it will be a definite possibility for a season 2 with 25 episodes.

Mother's Rosario is only one volume and it's not even a very long story to begin with unless you think they'll do a 16 or so episode season.

Let's see, Volume 1 when animated gets around 6 or 7 episodes, this could be said the same with Mother's Rosario which actually if you really compare it, Mother's Rosario is longer than Volume 1. Excaliber could be made into 2 or 3 episodes. Lastly the GGO arc can be made into a 12 episode. With that they're on 20ish episodes. If they decide to make the pace of season 2 slower then those 20ish episodes could made it into 25 episodes. Might sound a little pushing, but not entirely impossible since A-1 usually make a continuation season of the first season of an anime with a different pacing.
